2010 Map of Scotch Ridge

About this map

North River and the Middle River converge near the heart of this Warren County landscape, creating a rich network of drainage including Plug Run and Butcher Creek. The northern edge of Indianola transitions into rural acreage, where family names are preserved at the Laverty Cemetery and North River Cemetery. Local aviation history is grounded at the Loerke-Fox Run Aerodrome and Laverty Field, while the small community of Scotch Ridge remains a distinct landmark north of Summerset. The settlement patterns here follow a grid of established roads such as Scotch Ridge Rd and Summerset Rd, reflecting the agricultural character of central Iowa in the early twenty-first century.
